Snowmobile Tour with Northern Lights Spotting from Rovaniemi

About the Activity

What to Expect

Embark on an unforgettable Northern Lights snowmobile ride from Rovaniemi, where we will journey to a secluded mountain with clear northern views, maximizing your chances of seeing the Aurora Borealis. The adventure begins with a 45-minute travel away from the city lights, offering an opportunity to spot the lights en route if the skies are clear. On arrival, you'll reach the summit comfortably on a snowmobile sleigh led by a professional guide. As you enjoy the scenic ride, your guide takes care of the driving, allowing you to fully immerse in the serene beauty of the Arctic landscape.

Once at the summit, ascend the wooden stairs to a watchtower offering a panoramic 360-degree view of the northern horizon. This vantage point provides one of the best Northern Lights spotting opportunities, with a 90% success rate on clear nights. Warm up by a fire in a traditional teepee, savoring hot beverages and barbecue snacks. Here, your guide will share fascinating stories about Northern Lights and Arctic mythology, enhancing the mystical atmosphere. Under the Arctic starry sky, spot constellations like the Big Dipper and Polar Star, beneath which the Northern Lights often appear. Conclude the evening with a light-hearted Lappish shamanism experience, where our Aurora guides bring a touch of folklore to your adventure.
